To use the local PC with room TV
- Locate the Samsung TV remote control pictured below. (It will be labelled “Stephens Conference.)
- Press the red Power button at the top left. The TV will turn on.
- On the home screen, select the “PC” icon, using the circular control button on the TV remote control. Navigate up and down, or right and left, using the perimeter of the circular button.
- Press the center of the circular button to make a selection.
- If you get lost, press the “Home” button on the TV remote control to return to the main TV menu. Selecting the “Recent” icon will choose the last selected input as full screen.

- Press the center “Start” button on the computer task bar to select and present from any application you would like to display (PowerPoint, Chrome browser, etc…)
- If you want to start a Google Meet or Zoom videoconference session, open and log in to either of those two applications. The mic and speaker should be set automatically, but if not, ensure that the “Stem speaker” and “Stem Mic” are selected in the audio output and input settings.
- Adjust the volume of the speaker using the volume icon on the lower right of the computer’s taskbar. (Echo can be reduced by ensuring the speaker is not set at too high a volume.)
